Why Second Son Is A Broken Game

Jacob Steiner, GIZORAMA - "Infamous: Second Son is a game. There! I said it. You can shoot people in the face with fireballs and stuff. And, you can fly around. The citizens even cheer you on. That’s pretty cool. I guess. But, there are some parts of Second Son that really get me angry. Don’t worry; I won’t spoil the game for you. That would be rude of me. Here's why Infamous: Second Son is a broken game."

***What the heck happened, Sucker Punch? I beat this game in two hours.***

God, I hope this is supposed to be a satire piece. Because, no, you did not do this.

Kingthrash3604108d ago

i think it is, he says he misses the foggy empty streets from spiderman...seattle is too realistic lol.

joab7774108d ago

It isnt broken. Its the epitome of technically perfect. But thats not the issue. Its also a reflection of whats wrong with AAA games today and why Indies r so popular now. Gamers are tired of easy, on rails eye candy.

We have one of the greatest sandboxes ever made, full of gorgeous assets, a superhero and some of the best powers we have ever seen. But whats done with it is....ehhhh!

Arkham Knight finalky looks like the perfect super hero game...an entire city that allows u to be a regular guy and a super hero, control of wayne finances, an alliance with the city, a batmobile etc.

I just wish second son took place over a year with real side quests and real character progression. Real choice would have been nice too. Once u go paragon, u akready know all the choices u will make. How about some hard choices with different endings based on difficult choices u make along the way.

Dont get me wrong. It is a lot of fun...AND gorgeous...but it just makes u wonder how great it could have been. There coulda been some killer co op too. Or on a 2nd playthrough, let us choose which power to start with. Some are wasted. Oh well, a game to beat and trade in.

jakmckratos4108d ago

You lost me at "on-rails".....

This game is literally the perfect example on how choice of mobility in an action game can make the player feel omnipotent! You so CRAZAY!

Boody-Bandit4108d ago (Edited 4108d ago )

Obviously satire. It's impossible to beat Infamous in 2hrs.

I'm on my 2nd play through going with evil karma this time round. I love this game. I can see myself easily investing 50hrs into it. I want to go back to the first half of the game once I beat it using evil karma and use the 3rd ability.

Kalowest4108d ago

Wow... Good and Evil playthroughs put together should only take 20hrs, max 30hrs...

Boody-Bandit4108d ago

I don't rush through games. It took me longer than 10hrs on my first play through but then again I almost found every shard and unlocked all areas and completed most of the side stuff. I probably logged in about 20hrs on the first go around. I already have 2 hrs into the 2nd play through and I barely dented the first part of the city.

Kingthrash3604108d ago

lol well played lucifer, well played.

SniperControl4108d ago

Haha, yeah this is satire people.

Although, i do see some xboys commenting on this article without reading it first.

Mikelarry4108d ago (Edited 4108d ago )

Lol yeah it got approved by 18 people. I bet some of them approved without reading or realising it satire

Christopher4108d ago

Actually, I approved it for 10 votes. But, the problem is that some of the "satire" sounds like legitimate complaints (missions section especially). And, it's the Internet, there are crazy enough people out there where this would actually be their opinion.

SniperControl4108d ago

@cgoodno

In that case, he managed to complete 100% good and then 100% evil in 2 hours lol

BG115794108d ago

Bought the game friday. I got the first ending today. A part from the paper trail, I've obtained everything (well I think I did). The game isn't as big as the previous intalments.
The third power is weird. The other 3 are awesome, mainly neon power. It's my favorite.
I don't think the game is broken. The game isn't revolutionary, either. Yet, don't be fooled, the game is good, the game is very good. The story is better then the previous ones. And Delsim is really an awesome main character.

Unique PlayStation Games Where You Sweep Through Enemies Like They're Nothing

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake340d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn339d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga339d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX339d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup339d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992339d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack339d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000339d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx339d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty339d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125339d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc339d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies339d ago (Edited 339d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto339d ago (Edited 339d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg339d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.

How Does inFAMOUS Second Son Hold up 10 Years Later?

inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?

Deeeeznuuuts528d ago

100%, locked 60fps and still look great all these years later, same with the expansion, definitely worth a look if people haven't played it yet, not the best games ever made but a good experience, hopefully a new infamous gets released

KwietStorm_BLM528d ago

Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.

SDuck528d ago

Still remember getting hyped about this game nearing release. Funny because I never even got a PS4. Jumped from PS3 to PC so I never played it ahahaha

OmegaSoldati528d ago

Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.

jznrpg339d ago

@OmegaSoldati I’ve had a few of the highest end PC’s and they’re cool for about a year then they aren’t the highest end PC anymore and not as cool. It’s way overrated imo.

Profchaos528d ago (Edited 528d ago )

Graphically It's a absolutely stunning game that still holds up today.

Didn't have all that much depth to it forcing you to play though twice for a platinum trophy a good and bad run it was a little disappointing how similar those were Delsin would be like I'm not doing that for you in a cutscene but the cutscene would play out and force you to do it anyway just as you would of in a good run

I did like the story however it got a lot of complaints back in the day people hated playing as Delsin instead of cole despite Coles story being wrapped up.

Overall though the map wasn't overly saturated with useless points of interest there was some collectibles and things to find but nothing compared to a Ubisoft game.

I think it was a good game if a little hollow I've played it through around 4 times now since it's so short.

Also it's DLC was great a full story expansion
